What's your favorite juicer?
How do you deal with the foam?
Do what you love, love what you do. |

How are the two you both talked about - foamy? Not so foamy?
The foamy part of our centrifigal juicer is the least favorite part and it's a pain. pain. pain to filter off!
Do what you love, love what you do. |

The Champion does foam, but I've always just considered that a part of the drink. If you let it set for a few minutes, 5 at the most, a lot of it dissipates.

I've got a Jack LaLane also and really like it. The little bit of foam I've seen usually settles down, about like pouring a coke into a cup is what it makes me think of. Do you use the pulp for any other recipes? The juicer that my dad has came with a recipe book for the pulp but he can't find it since I want to hijack it.

We have a Breville--the kind you can stuff an entire apple into and literally get nothing but dried pulp and lots of juice!
I like how you can skim the foam off. But really there isn't much at all. It will juice an entire bag of carrots on seconds
It is super loud but really powerful.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am looking for a new one and don't want to waste my money.

I have a GreenLife which I think has been renamed the GreenStar and I love it. It does not foam at all and is slower than others so that all enzymes and vitamins remain. I use it in the Spring, when our spring apples come in, to make lots of apple juice. But watermelon and strawberry is good too!

We have a Jack Lalane and we love ours, too. Haven't really paid much attention to the foam issue, but definitely will from here on out. Some favorite combos in our house are carrot-pineapple-ginger (tastes like carrot cake in a glass), apple-celery-romaine lettuce (tastes like Waldorf salad), we also LOVE watermelon strawberry. It's especially good with homegrown moon-n-stars watermelon that you grow from Baker Creek seeds.
